Some say this is the best doomgaze out there, and I can understand why they say this. It's quite an astounding album, with emotions so strong, deep, & complex. Drone metal segments also have percussion, so it might interest some people who don't try much drone. Anyway, this husband-&-wife duo is no longer with us, and that makes this recording even more special. I'll never forget this one.   Feb 20, 2024

War metal, pagan metal, & dark folk; I had no idea these very different genres would ever come together so perfectly. This album is a very perfomative recording, as in I can picture musicians playing this right at the moment I'm hearing it. Also, this is really distinct even within the sea of uncounted underground releases. Recommended for weirdos like me.   Feb 15, 2024

Some very Summoning melodies on this one. Good, but he has better albums.   Feb 15, 2024

For me the whole thing is good but not great. I'm glad that Death went on to improve on all fronts.   Feb 15, 2024

So it turns out that atmospheric black metal has enough room in its wide open soundscapes to fit a load of Pink Floyd influence. These classic rock guitar solos that chill you out complement some extreme blackened melancholy. Rich in feeling and played with éclat. My pick of the day.   Feb 15, 2024

Some great songs here, and Chris brings it into gospel territory at times. Besides that, it's also very bluesy. The famous track 3 is probably the best in my opinion, but nothing is filler here, so it's easy to recommend.   Feb 15, 2024

Great album cover with great songwriting inside. The interplay between the backing vocals & main vocals fills the songs with purpose and urgency. The bass also really shines. Excellent funeral doom from a brand new duo.   Feb 15, 2024

Some Tool influence here, and a member of Tool as a guest musician. If those facts sound like an extremely good omen to you, you'll enjoy this as much as I did.   Feb 15, 2024

Such a wonderful album, and don't get me started on the cover art. Choosing to listen to drone metal is like choosing to jump into cold water. It's going to be a thrill, but you have to psych yourself up. This is why the genre is so niche. Just jump in!   Feb 13, 2024

Pretty good, and the trance has such a nice freshening effect as usual. However, I can't help but think the metalcore aspect is just holding them back, like if they base the metal parts on plain metal instead then the songwriting can get a lot better. Maybe I'm biased, but maybe I'm just 100% right too.   Feb 13, 2024

All those people from the 1600s or whatever trying to make our societies' music obligatorily promote religious institutions, didn't they know this would be the inevitable result following the laws of physics? Oh well. Everything went more blasphemous than expected.   Feb 13, 2024

I can hear they were already completely weird back in 2014, but this doesn't compare to the massive impact Hive Mind Narcosis provides.   Feb 13, 2024

Beautiful funeral doom, and I can't stop looking at that cover art.   Feb 13, 2024

I absolutely love this album! All kinds of technical and progressive and every instrument is top-notch. His 2022 album felt like a bizarre highlight of the year, but this one is one of the heavyweights of 2023. My pick of the week for me without a doubt.   Feb 12, 2024

With that album cover, I absolutely did not expect this kind of insane blackened death metal with some symphonic parts & dissonant compositions. Very very good.   Feb 12, 2024

Some songs on the 1st half had me afraid Infected Rain was declining, but some later songs made it worth my while, especially track 6. Death Dealer Union's recent debut, which has the same vocalist, is better in my opinion. This Infected Rain album, all in all, is uneven but pretty good.   Feb 12, 2024

I really like the black metal, and I just love this kind of industrial.   Feb 12, 2024

The instruments are absolutely excellent, and the ominous aura is just so powerful. The vocals do decrease my score quite a bit; it's hard to take them seriously. Attila improved on later releases, and though this album was a huge moment in black metal history it's just a little overrated. Still a great listen though.   Feb 12, 2024

Oh, wow. Talk about perfecting the art of infectious rhythms. The play button becomes very easy to press when you have this album on.   Feb 12, 2024

For me this just okay. Also, there is very little black metal on this. Mostly it's folk metal & dungeon synth. The most black metal track is Home of the Dead, which is a mix of Summoning song and a Sojourner song, and this is also the best part.   Feb 12, 2024

She Sells Sanctuary is a totally infectious song. Tracks 4 & 8 are pretty good too. A lot of this album is so-so, and the recording is not so great here & there; some highs hurt my ears even though I had he volume pretty low.   Feb 12, 2024

Fuzzy in a Paysage d'Hiver kind of way, but there are some very nice & aggressive first wave BM parts to bob your head too. All in the midst of epic yet vicious atmosphere building up for those 3 long tracks. Damián has been releasing so much inspired music lately that it's hard to keep up.   Feb 12, 2024

Productionwise it's great, and I really get into all these songs. It's not their best, but still quite good and fresh after so many decades.   Feb 12, 2024

Overall it's okay despite some painful slow songs with very lame clean vocals. Fortunately, the vocalist is better at screaming & rapping, and the funkiness is pretty good.   Feb 12, 2024

I don't find the songwriting very good on this album, but it's easy to here they're a fully capable band. I hope their earlier work is less forced and more to the point.   Feb 12, 2024

OK, passable black metal. This is unreleased stuff from 2020, and I guess they're focusing on their other project now. The great title, logo, and cover art had my hopes up.... oh well; It's OK.   Feb 12, 2024

Wow. This album goes everywhere. Yes it's black metal, but also folk metal, big band, classical, a somewhat hip-hop industrial track, classical, thrash, and field recordings including an old-fashioned newsreel segment. All done well with tons of passion.   Feb 12, 2024

Very satisfying slam here. The guest musicians are also from the very big groups of the genre. Very well done - almost going to move the score up to 90.   Feb 12, 2024

If you want some deathcore themed after Darksouls, then you might want to give this a try. It's not very good though - a lot like Lorn Shore, but I don't feel the intense emotions and extravagance that Lorna Shore provides.   Feb 12, 2024

군제대 후 이 앨범을 듣고 충격을 받았던 기억이 생생...토비아스의 천재성이 드러난 앨범 바이올린을 전공했던 큰 애가 요즘도 가끔 연주하는 "Vain Glory Opera"   7 days ago

그저 한결같이 아름답다. 이들 최고작이라 해도 무관.   Apr 4, 2024

레드제플린의 천국으로 가는 계단과 함께 고딩때 많이 즐겨 즐었던 앨범이다.... 특히 기타 소리가 너무 감미로웠다....   Apr 6, 2024

퀸 앨범 중 a night at opera와 더불어 제일 좋아하는 앨범이다. 메탈 팬도 들으면 생각보다 센 곡도 있다. 1LP 버전들은 길이 때문에 2, 5,10,11이 줄어서 들어갔다. 총 53분이면 음질에 영향받을 것 같지 않은데 말이다. 그래서인지 2015년에 2lp 버전도 발매했다. 1,12 진짜 좋고 12번 같은 경우에는 종종 락 보컬들이 커버하는 영상을 많이 볼 수 있다.   Apr 6, 2024

인플레임스의 마지막 명작   Apr 6, 2024

짧지만 아주 강력하다   Apr 12, 2024

Personally, I have always liked Sonata Arctica, and the new album is one of the best that the band has released in the last 10 years.   Apr 13, 2024

아름답고 부드럽다. 복잡한 구성의 멜로디가 유려하게 이어져 빗물처럼 시냇물처럼 아름다운 흐름을 이루어내고 있다. 음질과 드럼의 아쉬움을 제외한다면 최고의 앨범이다. 88점.   Apr 13, 2024

블랙모어가 딥퍼플에서 나와서 좋은 것은 rainbow식 음악도 들을 수 있게 되었다는 점이다. 아주 아주 특이한 감성을 갖고 있는 사람이다. 아주 헤비한 락이면서도 부분 부분 포크적인 느낌도 있고 쓰잔함도 갖고 있다. 당대의 3대장하고는 다른 맛을 느낄 수 있다. 1,4,6이 대표곡. 3번은 quatarmass 9번은 yardbirds 커버곡이다. 희한하게 LP의 양면 라벨이 바뀐 것도 있다.   Apr 16, 2024

내가 바라는 프로그레시브메탈 그 자체. 부드러움, 날뛰는 에너지, 서정성, 테크니컬함 모든것을 갖추었다. 드림씨어터 3집과 함꼐 주관적인 프로그레시브메탈 최고작. 94점.   Apr 16, 2024

리치가 베이스를 1–3, 6를 연주했다. 그 외의 스튜디오는 밥 데이즐리 연주. 어렸을 때에는 1,5를 굉장히 좋아했었는데 문제는 5를 라센 시기에는 듣질 못했었다. 지금은 오히려 4번 같은 곡이 애청곡이 되었다. 앨범으로 기준으로도 1,2집보다 더 좋아했던 기억이 있다. 8번은 역시나 디오의 또 다른 보컬 맛을 느끼기 좋은 곡. 디오 재적시의 앨범은 영원할 것 같다.   Apr 20, 2024

3인조 코로너의 전 앨범 특히 2,3,4집을 좋아합니다. 옛날에 3집을 LP로 구입했었는데 속지에 시계, 스위스, 큰 글자로 '그로테스크' 라고 적힌 기억이.. 이후 90년대 중후반에 걸쳐서 전 앨범을 시디로 하나씩 모았죠. 30년간 신보를 안 내고 재결성 후에 아직도 활동하는 것도 특이한데, 그만큼 고정팬들이 많다는거 거겠죠.   7 days ago

MEGADETH 앨범 중 최애 앨범...첫 곡부터 내 심장은 뛰기 시작했다.   7 days ago

간만에 듣는 수작 프로그레시브 젠트 앨범. 개인적으로 프록을 좋아하지 않음에도 불구하고 리프가 살아있고 복잡한 연주보다는 분위기나 리듬이 강조되어 듣는 재미가 배가 되었다. 보컬이 그로울링이었더라면 취향 100점 짜리 앨범이 되었지 않을까라는 생각도 드는 앨범.   3 days ago

개인적으로 이 프론티어 레이블의 파란색 바탕 앨범 시리즈를 좋아한다. 분명 이제는 예전의 보컬이 아니기는 하나 오히려 터프한 면이 있는 보컬이 특색이라고 할 수 있다. 프론티어에서의 이 앨범이 나에게 엄청 좋은 느낌으로 다가온 것은 사실이다. 7번에서도 여전히 쉽지 않은 고역을 소화해준다. 라센반은 13번 곡 "First Love (Orchestral Version)"가 포함되었다.   Apr 3, 2024

이 앨범에서는 유독 드러밍이 돋보인다. 특유의 다크한 분위기에 육중한 맛도 잘 살린 사운드가 일품.   Apr 4, 2024

드림 시어터는 AI가 만든 음악같다. 어떻게 하면 음악적으로 가장 큰 카타르시스를 느낄 수 있는 지, 치밀하게 계산되어 만들어진 음악   Apr 5, 2024

Paranoid, 그리고 마블영화때문에 더 익숙해진 Iron Man...이렇게 이 앨범은 클래식이 되었다.   Apr 6, 2024

그 놀라웠던 firepower 보다 더 끝내주는 앨범을 뽑아냈다니.... 노장밴드에 대한 존경심이 더해진 가산점이 없다고는 할 수 없지만... 가산점을 더하면 130점은 되는걸?   Apr 6, 2024
